CREATIVE MOVEMENT (Ages 2.5-3) This class allows new dancers to explore movement and rhythm through basic dance steps, ballet and tap.

This is a 45 minute class.

WIth classic youth friendly songs and pre-dance movement, this class is dedicated to helping your child fall in love with dance! Ballet shoes, tap shoes, leotards and tights are required.

BALLET Ballet barre, floor work and technique. Beginners will learn classical ballet fundamentals from the very beginning basics, and gain agility, flexibility, balance and body awareness. Advanced dancers will find their class tailored to the individual dancer's needs by fine-tuning technique, giving advanced turn and jump combinations, and recommending personal goals. Ballet shoes required.

POINTE Ballet technique en pointe. Taught at Beg-Int level

ELEMENTARY COMBO (Grades K-3) In a combination of ballet, tap, and jazz, elementary-aged children will learn and then build on the basics in each style. Each class is a combination of barre work, across the floor, center floor combinations and technique. Suggested designations indicate age of dancer: A=Grades K-1 B=Grades 2-3

CONTEMPORARY Contemporary Dance is a feel-good, self-expression based movement. Dancers should have a basic knowledge of ballet technique and desire a quicker paced, choreography based class. Full warm up with technique training exercises, across the floor and a focus on the weekly combos.

HIP-HOP Have a fabulous time dancing to fun, age-appropriate hip hop music! Young dancers will stretch, learn weekly high energy, youth friendly combinations, and practice hip-hop isolations in a positive, nurturing environment!

JAZZ Classic jazz technique and combinations with tricks, leaps, and turns. Combinations focus on style, stage presence, and execution and continuously strengthen and sharpen movements. Soft-soled jazz shoes required.

TAP Stylized rhythmic tap with technique practice and weekly combinations. Tap shoes required.

TWEEN CLASSES (for dancers in grades 5-8) Perfect for the beginner tween-aged dance student. Dancefx offers classes focused on ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, and hip hop.
